Title: Another wood carved hare
Post by: micktoon on December 31, 2014, 12:56:49 PM
Hi everyone, I have just finished carving a second 'Moongazer' hare , so thought I would post a few photos.
    Its carved in Lime wood again but this time not spalted so easier to carve, its has varied a bit from the first one, mainly its got longer rear legs and bigger rear feet. Due to the wood being stronger without the spalting on this one I did not fit it to a base, I felt the feet could have snapped off the first one, if it took a knock  without the base to support them.

 This is the stage that I remembered to take photos, all the carving and sanding more or less done except for doing the eyes and the toes.

  Sitting next to the mark 1 version , there is bits I like better on both versions so maybe a third one would combine all the best bits lol.

They are both gorgeous!  :clap:

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I'm insanely jealous of people with skills far above mine.
